Ann Contois and Steve Reynolds are refugees from "big city
life", having lived in wild and wonderful West Virginia for 30+
years with an adopted gang of formerly stray dogs known as the "Motley Crew", and now in the Inland Northwest with a cat named Socrates.

As stained
glass artisans, we blend glass with space age materials, to create contemporary
mirrors, windows, suncatchers, and jewelry of dynamic imagery. Our recent artistic exploration
has taken us into the realms of digital art and web page design. This collaboration led to the founding of the Juried OnLine Arts Festival in July 1996, and ElectronicCottage Online Gallery in 1999.

Ann graduated from the University of California with a degree in art, and developed a love of glass during extensive travels with her military family in Germany, Japan, and Cambodia. Steve is a graduate of Loyola College
in Baltimore, and was a professional photographer before becoming a glass artist.

We have works in the West Virginia Permanent Art Collection, as well as in private collections across the country, and completed a major church installation in St. Mary's, West Virginia. The Contois Reynolds Glass Studio won numerous awards at juried art shows during our years "on the road", and now all of our work is available exclusively to collectors via the World Wide Web.
